Nemiga surged in the CIS circuit after winning the latest WINLINE CIS LAN, earning 117 VRS points and climbing 14 spots to 24th globally, underscoring strong impact within the circuit.

WINLINE CIS LAN Season 9 is slated for October 20–23 in Moscow, with a $50,000 prize pool, featuring 16 teams in GSL-style groups and a single-elimination playoff leading to a BO5 grand final.

The event will be open to signup for any team in the global VRS, and it sits ahead of the PGL Major Singapore invite cutoff, potentially boosting Major qualification points.

Nemiga’s recent success strengthens their position in the European Major qualification race, with projections suggesting the Major spots battle could be tightly contested.

Prize distribution for WINLINE CIS LAN Season 9 awards $30,000 to the winner, $9,000 to the runner-up, $4,000 to both semi-finalists, and $750 to teams finishing fifth through eighth.
